OEM-rebuilt CNC plasma and flame cutting systems with factory warranties, upgraded Hypertherm controls, and worldwide support.
Investing in a CNC plasma or oxyfuel cutting table does not always require new machine capital expenditure. Esprit Automation offers factory-refurbished CNC cutting machines that combine original British structural integrity with updated electronic controls, current Hypertherm plasma systems, and complete OEM backing.
Unlike third-party equipment dealers who simply clean and resell used machinery, Esprit returns every pre-owned gantry to our Nottingham manufacturing facility. Our original assembly engineers strip each machine down to its heavy box-section steel chassis, replace mechanical wear components, and retrofit modern CNC drive systems.
This comprehensive manufacturing-level overhaul ensures global metal fabricators, steel service centers, and structural engineers receive a machine operating at original factory precision and cut speeds—backed by ongoing spare parts availability and direct engineer support.
Every pre-owned CNC cutting machine undergoes a standardized rebuilding procedure before receiving its factory certification seal.
Complete ultrasonic weld integrity testing and frame alignment check on precision surface plates.
Chassis is shot-blasted to bare metal, stress-relieved, and refinished in industrial protective coating.
Installation of brand-new precision linear guide rails, rack-and-pinion assemblies, and planetary gearboxes.
100% replacement of dynamic energy chains, internal wiring looms, and gas supply hoses.
Retrofitting with current Hypertherm EDGE Connect CNC units featuring touchscreen operator interface.
Upgraded or fully overhauled Hypertherm plasma power sources (XPR, MAXPRO, or Powermax series).
Rebuilt initial height sensing (IHS) and voltage-based arc height controls for optimal tip life.
Multi-thickness test cutting on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium to verify squareness and edge tolerances.
Our refurbished inventory changes regularly as trade-in units arrive from existing customers upgrading to larger platforms.
Refurbished Ideal for structural steel fabricators and general engineering shops seeking laser-like cut edge quality at a fraction of the capital cost.
Heavy Duty Engineered for steel service centres and heavy plate processors cutting thick carbon steel plate with multiple torches simultaneously.
Compact Perfect for ductwork manufacturers, HVAC fabricators, and job shops bringing profile cutting in-house for the first time.
Compare the risks and guarantees when choosing factory-certified machinery over standard used equipment auctions.

| Plasma Torch System | Fully overhauled or upgraded current power source | Unverified arc stability, worn torch body |
| Warranty & Guarantee | Full OEM Warranty included | Zero warranty (Sold as seen) |
| Spare Parts Availability | Original factory stock in UK ready for dispatch | Hard-to-source discontinued components |
| Global Installation & Training | Available worldwide by certified engineers | Buyer responsible for transport & commissioning |
A standard used machine is typically sold "as-is" with unknown mechanical wear and legacy control hardware. An Esprit factory-refurbished machine is returned to our Nottingham factory, completely stripped down, shot-blasted, repainted, and fitted with brand-new linear guides, rack and pinions, wiring, and current-generation Hypertherm CNC controllers and plasma power sources before being thoroughly cut-tested and certified with a full OEM warranty.
Yes. All factory-refurbished CNC cutting machines supplied by Esprit Automation come with a comprehensive OEM warranty covering mechanical components, CNC controllers, and integrated plasma systems, alongside lifetime direct engineering support.
Export capability is a core service. Esprit regularly ships refurbished CNC machines to over thirty countries worldwide. We handle export packing, international container logistics, remote commissioning, and provide direct technical training for your operating team.
Yes. During the refurbishment build phase, our engineers can tailor the configuration to your production target—including upgrading to higher-amperage Hypertherm XPR plasma systems, adding multi-torch oxyfuel capabilities, or specifying custom downdraught extraction tables.
Because refurbished machines utilize in-stock core gantries, lead times are significantly shorter than brand-new custom builds. Most factory-refurbished systems are ready for cut-testing, dispatch, and international shipment within 3 to 6 weeks from order confirmation.
Contact our application engineers today to request current available stock lists, technical specifications, and international export quotations tailored to your cutting requirements.
